About Manufacturer

To this day, Knipex still specializes in making high quality pliers and in addition to that, they have created some really cool and innovative pliers designs. Knipex specialty pliers include the pliers wrench, the Alligator and Cobra pliers and the Cobolt bolt cutters – each with their own specialties and features that set them apart from common brands. Knipex’s workmanship is also among the best, their tools are made of some of the strongest tool steel available and it’s a difference you can feel.

Best strippers on the market! Get them while you can
Mac M.5/5
Best strippers on the market/ever used. Had the klein's, had the milwaukee's, but none compare to how smooth and crisp these cut. It's like butter. You can cut romex, mc, and more. Head of the pliers is tinier then most as well so you can use them as a hybrid needle-nose. 100% worth the purchase :)
Kenyi W.5/5
By far the best wire stripper’s I’ve ever owned and used. They strip so clean and the locking feature is super smooth to use one handed.
David M.5/5
These are amazing I cut 3 #8 with them and it was like I was cutting 3 #12 with my old strippers. These are definitely worth the money

Tyler B.5/5
took multiple months to deliver with no updates in that time until i had to reach out to customer support who said it had finally shipped as it was out of stock which is also strange because when i purchased it the website claimed it WAS in stock when i had just purchased the same tool from a different retailer and i couldnt cancel it so was forced to wait for it to be delivered before returning it at my own expense as the package came with no return options as well as the website which also had no practical information about returns and once again i was forced to contact customer support for basic return information and instructions. still havent gotten my money back by the way.

Kristopher K.5/5Verified
This is my second pair after my first ones flew out my truck but that’s another story. Loved them so much I bought another pair. A little pricey but honestly worth it. They cut 10/3 MC like butter too. If your a electrician and you don’t have pair of this what are you doing?!
Gustavo R.5/5Verified

I own the KT version but I choose to use this one instead.
